[Talk-ko] [Ticket#2017030110000095] Someone is removing "sensitive" information

[Data Working Group]

Hello Max,

thank you for writing. I will investigate the issue. It is however possible
that some of the data you now see removed was also removed by us because users
had illegally traced building footprints from "vworld" imagery. I'll keep you
posted.

Best regards
Frederik Ramm

Hello, in this changeset you deleted y couple of buildings and your
comment says that you deleted them because they are in a security area.
However, OSM does not generally respect specific national security
interests with regards to mapping. If a building is visible on aerial
imagery, then it may be mapped in OSM, no matter whether it is in a
security area or not. Deleting such a building, as you have done here,
can be interpreted as an act of vandalism on OSM. Please don't do that.

Some of the affected changesets:

[2]https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/46159124

[6]https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/46159870
[7]https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/46159916

probably more.

the changeset comment is 건물삭제(보안구역) which translates to Removing
buildings (Restricted areas)

Questions:
1. what are good tools to find more of this?
2. what are the right steps to do if vandalism like this is detected?
3. can this be avoided in the future?
4. is there a tool to get notified if someone changes a specific area?
5. who has authority to revert? should I try to do this, but I might
miss something.
